Small Scale Sydney - Death before Decaf

I think one of the problems with being a 53 year old on this site is actually remembering when shitboxes like this one came out. They were shitboxes then, too. I do not recall anyone thinking that the world needed a Chrysler/Maserati collaboration and we were right. It didn’t. NO DICE at any price. Some things…

Let’s be fair. They replaced it with new MUCH MORE unreliable running gear that will be far more difficult and expensive to repair.

OK - I’m going to come across as a curmudgeon here, but... $7500 for a base-model 2WD Toyota pickup with a few questionable modifications, from the shitty-carb years? Is that really what these are commanding? Has “the market for these” actually gone that insane? We all know “the market” can be an idiot; it was that…

Kinja only lets me star comments that have some already, so consider this a star. Could not have put it better.

Everybody here mocks the idea of a car as an appliance, but the Nissan Micra is an appliance in a good way. It just works. You want to go from A to B?

A 20 year old VW with just 39k miles?

How dare you suggest that every American family doesn’t need a 7 seat suv for the Mrs and short bed crew cab pick up for the Mr.

I’m guessing you’ve probably never ridden in one? For the kind of fuck it money this is being offered for, it is an absolutely excellent choice.

These things run like cockroaches, and are just about as hard to kill. Except for rust attacking the front subframes. And hopefully this pickle-colored Dodge in Houston is devoid of that.

The lack of hair.

That looks dumb as shit.

^ Whippet good.

There already was a Whippet, made by Willys-Overland from 1927 to 1931. Since it was considered a marque in its’ own right, not a “Willys Whippet” (although it didn’t apparently have a separate dealer network) presumably the rights to the name are still held by FCA.
